Jamaican saltfish fritter is otherwise known as 'Stamp n Go'. My mother used to make it for me when I used to be "semi-hungry or sad", and I do the same for my kids. They come rushing to me asking for something good to eat for breakfast, and I end up serving their all-time favorite dish to them. In Jamaica, it is called Saltfish, Cod Fish or some say Salted Cod fish. I refer to it as Saltfish.
